About the Company
We’re a UK-based Fin-tech technology company building modern, scalable platforms for a regulated, high-impact industry. Our products support established businesses that rely on reliable, secure systems to operate day to day. The company is growing steadily and investing heavily in its technology function, with a strong focus on building high-quality systems that can scale. The emphasis is on long-term thinking, engineering excellence, and delivering real-world impact through well-designed software.
Technology & Engineering
Technology plays a central role in how the business operates. Engineering teams work closely with product, design, and operational stakeholders to build and evolve core platforms used across the organisation. Teams are outcome-focused and take ownership from early design through to production. The environment is modern and collaborative, with an emphasis on reducing unnecessary complexity, improving reliability, and continuously refining how software is delivered. Engineers have meaningful influence over technical decisions, standards, and ways of working.
About the Role
This is a senior individual contributor role focused on creating leverage across multiple engineering teams. The primary goal is to simplify architecture, define shared technical patterns, and improve consistency, reliability, and security across critical systems. You’ll work across both frontend and backend systems, helping to shape how core workflows are built and maintained. This includes defining reusable patterns, improving observability, and setting standards that teams can adopt to move faster with confidence. On the frontend, the stack includes React and TypeScript. On the backend, services are built using Kotlin-based APIs. You’ll work closely with Product and Design partners to ensure technical direction supports broader business priorities, while also helping teams deliver predictably and at high quality. A key part of the role is raising engineering capability across teams through mentoring, architectural guidance, and shared practices. You’ll also help teams adopt new tools and approaches responsibly, including AI-assisted development tooling. Success in the role is measured by improved delivery consistency, reduced complexity, stronger system reliability, and higher engineering confidence across teams.
Responsibilities
* Define and roll out shared technical patterns used across multiple teams.
* Design and build high-quality frontend applications using modern JavaScript frameworks.
* Design and deliver scalable backend services using statically typed languages.
* Improve system reliability through clear ownership, service-level objectives, and incident practices.
* Partner with product and design leaders to align technical decisions with delivery goals.
* Establish and maintain security, privacy, and quality guardrails.
* Support the adoption of shared tooling and development standards.
* Mentor engineers through pairing, reviews, and architectural guidance.
* Contribute to communities of practice to raise standards and share knowledge.
Qualifications
Strong experience with modern frontend development (JavaScript, TypeScript, component-based frameworks). Solid testing discipline across unit, integration, and end-to-end testing. Experience designing and building backend services using RESTful APIs. Proven ability to simplify systems and influence technical direction across teams. Good understanding of CI/CD and modern delivery practices. Comfort working closely with design and product partners. Strong communication skills and the ability to influence without authority. Experience mentoring engineers and improving team capability. Exposure to introducing new tools or shared practices across teams.
Working Environment
The company offers a flexible, supportive working environment with a strong focus on sustainable delivery and professional growth. Benefits typically include flexible working arrangements, learning and development support, and a well-rounded benefits package.
